7 some pressing problems to solve at NLO: quark mass effects boosted Higgs can resolve loops from heavy BSM particles and heavy SM particles (top)! EW corrections, combination QCD/EW consistent combination of EFT and SM NLO corrections finding optimal scales/assessment of scale uncertainties (also shower/resummation scale uncertainties) multi-jet merging improve logarithmic accuracy of parton showers

9 quark mass effects in Higgs + jets Greiner, Höche, Luisoni, Schönherr, Winter 16 cross sections (+Ntuples) for H+1,2,3 jets calculated at NLO in HEFT ( m t!1 limit ) LO with full m t,m b dependence default scale choice: basic cuts:

10 quark mass effects in Higgs + jets m t!1 limit starts to fail at p T,H 200 GeV different jet multiplicities show very similar behaviour leading jet pt distribution also similar suggests that resolution of top quark loops is driven by pt,h or largest pt in the event jet multiplicity seems to play minor role needs further investigation (backup slide)

11 Effect of VBF cuts VBF cuts can enhance the deviations of HEFT to full theory

12 bottom quark effects well below the scale uncertainties even at low pt depend on jet multiplicity destructive interference between top- and bottom-quark loops for H+1jet
